Active Iron capsules are the first commercially available denatured whey protein (WP) Iron formulation.
Active Iron capsules target the natural site of iron absorption in the intestine, increasing the amount of iron absorbed and making more iron available to your body. Clinical evaluation of this formulation shows significantly higher absorption of iron than the gold standard, ferrous sulfate.
Benefits:
- Active Iron’s advanced protein formulation is non-irritating to the stomach and does not cause inflammation preventing unwanted side-effects such as stomach pain, cramps, sickness, constipation and flatulence.
- Active Iron is better absorbed and better tolerated than other iron products.
- Active Iron works in tune with your body, targeting the natural site of absorption and delivering just the right amount of iron when you need it, without any of the nasty side effects.
- Kind and strong, Active Iron is gentle enough to take on an empty stomach and gives you strong absorption when you need it.
The Science of Active Iron
Active Iron targets the body’s “iron absorber” the DMT-1. It is clinically proven to give better iron absorption than the market-leading iron sulfate and works in tune with your body’s needs.
Active Iron’s advanced protein formulation is non-irritating to the stomach and does not cause inflammation preventing unwanted side effects associated with other iron products such as stomach pain, cramps, sickness, constipation and flatulence.
Why is iron important?
Iron is essential to life. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and also plays an important role in normal energy metabolism, oxygen transport, cognitive function, immune function and formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin.
Suitable for:
- Women with periods – Monthly periods are the most common cause of iron loss worldwide and research shows that women of childbearing age need 2-3 times more iron than men. Amongst women who experience heavier periods, especially in their 30s and 40s, adequate daily iron intake is particularly important and may be difficult to achieve with diet alone.
- Pregnancy – The amount of blood in your body when you are pregnant increases by about 30-50%. Iron needs are increased during pregnancy because the body uses iron to make extra blood to transport oxygen for the mother and her baby during this time.
Dietary iron requirements can increase to as much as 30mg of iron during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. This may mean supporting a healthy diet with iron supplements when daily iron needs cannot be met through diet alone.
However, food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Also, you should not exceed the recommended daily supplement dose of iron without consulting your doctor. - Active Exercisers – Iron is used by the body’s muscles to help produce energy. Therefore, active exercisers who enjoy endurance exercise (e.g. running, rowing, cycling) need iron to maintain and support energy.
Iron contributes to oxygen transport in the blood. Therefore, maintaining optimal iron levels may result in increased aerobic capacity and all-round performance.
Iron also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, cognitive function, normal immune function and the formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin.
One capsule should be taken daily.

Iron 14mg.
